A podcast about acting -- just the work. by Peter Rinaldi

“Letting Go of Judgement of Myself and Just Having My Imagination Be So Big”: Tiffany Boone, Back To One, Episode 324

Tiffany Boone’s breakout role was Jerrika Little on the series The Chi. Little Fires Everywhere, The Midnight Sky, Nine Perfect Strangers, and Hunters followed. Now she voices Sarabi in Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King. She explains how getting back to her childlike imagination was a must for that role. She tells the story of trying to break up with acting but acting wouldn’t break up with her. She talks about the importance of knowing the character better than anyone else, how focusing on connecting with people through her art allowed her to “let go of the desperation,” and much more.
